Hey, I wonder if we can let a contract to the Saudis for similar construction in the American Southwest...?
Actually, the border wall Saudi Arabia built along Yemen’s border was designed and constructed by American defense companies. Raytheon designed some of the sensors and communication technologies, don’t remember the construction firm.
Raytheon also designed the “Smart fence” with open posts and sensors, but that was almost a joke because we wouldn’t enforce the border with anyone who crossed it.
So we have the capability in house with American firms to do this - just not the political will.
